Topic: Shortcuts in Menus inside dialogs

Dear support, maybe you can help me:

I derived and replaced CXTPShortcutManager in order to implement the automatic drawing of shortcut-texts in menus inside dialogs.

Unfortunately the function CXTPPopupBar::UpdateShortcuts which actually calls the shortcut manager starts with:

void CXTPPopupBar::UpdateShortcuts()
{
    if (GetFrameSite() == NULL)
        return;
    ...

This GetFrameSite returns NULL, because I am inside a dialog, not inside a frame window.

Question: Is there a workaround/other solution for this?

I came that far, I would really be disappointed if I must end here....

Thanks
Uwe

Last version (9.70) of CXTPPopupBar::UpdateShortcuts look like:

void CXTPPopupBar::UpdateShortcuts()
{
CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars = GetCommandBars();
if (!pCommandBars)
return;

if (!pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions()->bAutoUpdateSh ortcuts)
return;

foreach (pControl, TRUE)
{
  CString strShortcut;
  if (pControl->GetID() != 0)
  {
   XTPShortcutManager()->FindDefaultAccele rator(pControl->GetID(), strShortcut, pCommandBars);
   pControl->m_strShortcutTextAuto = strShortcut;
  }
}
}

OK, now I upgraded, but the GetCommandBars() function at the top of:

void CXTPPopupBar::UpdateShortcuts()
{
CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars = GetCommandBars();
if (!pCommandBars)
return;
...

Always returns a NULL pointer inside my dialog-hosted menu bar.

Question: Any chance of getting the shortcut-manager called inside a dialog?

Of course I'm continuing to research, but maybe you still can help.

Thanks
Uwe
